Chapter 608: Your bomb is very good, but now it is mine
"Mr. Kurokawa, is the director of a hospital?"
"Yes, I used to be a very famous heart attack A surgeon who is very well-known in the industry. But as he gets older, he rarely performs surgeries. I have some personal matters about my family that I want to talk to you about."
"Oh, phone. We have already discussed this issue here."
"Okay, Mr. Mori, please..."
Conan, who was invited to the courtyard by the maid, retracted his gaze from Kogoro Mori's back, took out his cell phone, and began to reply to the messages he received on the way.
Since Joker actually put a locator into his watch in front of him, Conan does not need to report his itinerary in detail now. He can just assume that Joker must be paying attention. he.
So he was not surprised by the emails he received on the road. The only thing he was dissatisfied with was the wording used by the other party.
[Uncle Maori often handles various entrustments related to family chores, catching cheaters and checking private accounts. For wealthy families, it may also involve property disputes and inheritance protection... …
Before I came to live in their office, my uncle’s daily work was already like this. If he investigated someone’s family and something happened to someone’s family, then he would no longer be able to continue his career. You That's too exaggerated, joker. 】
Tangze, who was sitting not far from him, curled his lips as he listened to the content of the email read by Noah in the headphones.
Ever since he rashly fell off the horse with Toru Amuro, Karasawa's level of caution has skyrocketed, and he feels that he can compare with Yagami Yue under L's surveillance.
Now, as long as he is in front of the detectives, he will try his best to let Noah do it for him when switching accounts. This is a step ahead of Conan in the Full Moon Chapter, and he has experienced a wave of voice control.
Noah's speech-to-text speed was extremely fast, so half a minute later, Conan received a reply from the other party.
[Before you came, nothing happened to my client. After you came, my ordinary client had murder cases all day long. According to the controlled variable method, right? 】
Conan was not very convinced after reading the other party's reply, and he poked the screen with his finger very hard.
[Uncle Maori also has many clients who have had no problems. Well, didn’t you bring more trouble to his business than me? 】
Tang Ze curled his lips, feeling that his Death Tarot still lacked a basic understanding of his power.
You know, in this world, without their intervention, Mouri Kogoro would already be at the level of the client's ghost.
[Is there a possibility that if I had not intervened, the clients in his hands would have either become dead or become murderers? 】
Conan shook his head at this outrageous assumption.
Although at the beginning, the main actions of the joker were often related to Uncle Maori's commission. Although Uncle Maori's client did have many miscellaneous accidents, he was more willing to blame them on the detective after he became famous. , you may receive more letters from people with complicated thoughts.
He himself has been a detective for so long, and his client...
Well, okay, although his main "client" is still Search One Lesson, he is not profitable. A private detective is mainly a case consultant who assists the police in solving murder cases...
So his fingers when typing text are also very firm and confident.
[Impossible, absolutely impossible! 】
Tangze turned his head, avoiding the sight of the primary school student opposite, and made a strange expression.
Don’t mention it, Karasawa’s debut in this world started with a request from Mouri Kogoro. Even Conan’s debut after he became a child also started with a request from Mouri Kogoro. By extension.
Should I say it, although Kogoro Mori may indeed have mediocre abilities in handling serious cases, he is indeed an excellent platform. Conan chose him as his agent in front of the stage, which is considered a wise man. technique.
His lips moved slightly, and he began to carefully count the roles he had played in Moori Kogoro's commission, and thoughtfully explained some of the original plot to the detective.
[Ha, let’s put it this way, just like that time with Maru Denjiro, if I hadn’t come, what do you think he, a mean-tongued miser like him, would say to the people who had all kinds of collateral seized under his clever name?
Take another example: Yutaka Abe. He found Detective Mori just to fabricate a false alibi for himself. If I hadn't stopped his action first, Detective Mori himself would have been deeply involved in controversy. 】
If it weren’t for the high-intensity activity of the Phantom Thief of Hearts, Kogoro Mori might have to rely on recruiting new people to survive now.
Karasawa deeply believes that the main reason why Mouri Kogoro is still prosperous in business in the original work is most likely because he mainly does one-shot transactions.
The client either left or went in, so there is no negative comment in the true sense.
But judging from the responses, some people still harbor fantasies.
[That doesn’t mean that something will happen to every ordinary commission. Although there were some twists and turns in the Nagato family’s previous one, it was not to the extent that it caused lives...]
Yes. , if you hadn’t discovered the problem with the Nagato family in advance and brought it to me for questioning in advance, your words would still have some credibility.
Thinking of Hinata Yuki, who has now embarked on a normal life, and who from time to time cooperates with Kumail for no apparent reason to play the role of a wealthy bride for the organization, Karasawa shook his head secretly.
That is obviously the episode with the biggest difference.
[Guess, have the Nagato family received a warning letter, and how far would their family conflicts have intensified without my intervention? 】
Conan thought for a moment about Nagato Miguel, who was indeed about to kill the killer. Although Nagato Hideomi had a near miss, he really almost had an accident. He smacked his lips and replied with a little guilt.
... With such long paragraphs of text, why does joker still reply to one message every tens of seconds?
【Is it that exaggerated... You type really fast. 】
Tang Ze glanced at the direction of the unlucky Kurokawa House with his peripheral vision, and silently calculated in his heart.
Although there was not much detail about this case in the original work, he was unable to understand the specific details of the case, but judging from the relevant personnel he had investigated in advance, there was a high probability that this was also a murder-for-hire commission.
After all, the murderer has no shadow at all. He is an avenger with firm determination and unwavering determination. Basically, the detective can only be responsible for collecting the dishes.
So he typed with confidence.
【Aren't you sitting at the new client's house now? Do you want to make a bet? Artificial intelligence is amazing. 】
Is it an illusion? Why does he feel that joker also likes betting?
Moreover, if you would reply with such a firm tone...
[...Are you still going to let it go, knowing that their family is in trouble just to make this bet with me? 】
"Noah, check the situation of Kurokawa Daizo." Karasawa said into the microphone with a weak breath without moving his lips at all.
"The shadow reaction disappeared." Noah's answer came quickly.
Tangze, who was suddenly reassured, looked with pity on the top of the head of the primary school student who was busy playing with his mobile phone.
He roughly estimated the area of the house for a while, as well as the movement speed of the servants and housekeepers who led the way, and quickly gave a reply.
【That's not the case, but I really can't do anything about their family's problems, so just wait and count from now on. 】
Conan’s expression is very incomprehensible.
【What are you waiting for? How long? 】
Tang Ze only answered a brief number. 【5. 】
5? 5 what 5?
Conan, who didn't understand, thought about it for a moment and continued typing in the text box.
【? 5 days? 5 hours? That doesn't prove...]
Before he could finish typing, a notification for a new email had popped up.
【4. 】
"Huh?" Conan didn't hesitate and asked directly.
“Ahhh——”
As if the time had been calculated, just a few seconds later, a sharp scream broke the quiet atmosphere of the courtyard. .
Conan raised his head in shock, ignoring the content on his phone, stuffing things into his pockets, and ran towards the direction of the sound.
Because of this, he was unable to see joker's last email.
【How about it, is my estimated skill okay? 】
————
“The deceased, Mr. Daizo Kurokawa, was the head of the household. Judging from the situation at the scene, the deceased was drinking and using the keyboard to input content... "Mumu Shisan stood in front of the corpse with white lines drawn on it, describing it calmly, with a very peaceful expression.
I don’t know how many times I’ve seen these detectives this week. It’s useless if he’s not peaceful.
If he had anything to say about these dedicated detectives, it was that he fully supported their travels.
I heard that the police in Fukuoka Prefecture and Kanagawa Prefecture have experienced the skills of this group of Tokyo detectives. Among them, because there are high school students from Osaka and the lethality is particularly shocking, currently Mu was thirteen times relieved.
Although it seems a bit unethical to say this, it’s good that nothing happened in Tokyo.
The Phantom Thieves of the Heart don't know what they are doing recently. Their search section is already overcrowded and they really cannot bear the impact of more major cases.
Having been in the office for so long dealing with all kinds of suspects who came to surrender due to the Phantom Thieves of Heart, my eyes were dizzy when I looked at the documents. I suddenly went out to the field, and I actually felt a sense of relaxation that changed my mood. Even when Mumu Shisan was standing in front of the corpse, his expression was peaceful.
As for the murder case, it will rain and the mother will get married. Gratitude and hatred will always happen and cannot be stopped.
"It seems that the murder weapon was the bronze statue that fell next to the deceased." Mouri Kogoro, who discovered the crime scene for the first time, had a calm expression. "The murderer should have approached the deceased from behind and hit him first. He hit the back of the deceased's head. The deceased turned around in severe pain and made a move to cover the wound. Then he was hit in the front again. When he fell, he brought down the keyboard and computer screen in front of him... The situation was not good. It’s complicated.”
“Now, the final question is this death message.” Mumu Shisan nodded and looked at the three letters JUN flashing on the tilted computer screen.
Tangze, who was following them, first glanced at Conan who was thoughtful, and had already started to look at the soles of everyone's feet. Then he glanced at his own small map, tiptoed back a few steps, and walked out of the crowd. A crowded study.
This case, whether it is the case or the method, does fall into a relatively simple category. Even if Conan doesn't take action, Mouri Kogoro may be able to find an idea if he ponders for a few more minutes with the keyboard.
Therefore, his top priority is still the core figure in a series of cases, Moritani Teiji.
If you guessed it right, although the death of Kurokawa Daizo was mostly accidental, even if there had not been this murder, Moritani Teiji would have taken action against this house soon.
Speaking of which, Teiji Moritani’s obsession with symmetry mainly comes from his experience of living and studying in the UK. The single-family villa of the Kurokawa family can be said to be very symmetrical. His design The style has always been like this.
It is only for residential use, and compromises on functional areas are waiting to be considered. This villa does have asymmetry in many details. Overall, it is closer to Bauhaus-style modern architecture, so it is no surprise that , was also on Moritani Teiji's blacklist.
While everyone in the house was surrounding the place where the murder occurred, Tang Ze, who was driving the invisibility halo, slipped out smoothly and quickly found his target.
"It's really C4..." It only took a short time for Tang Ze to confirm what he found on the load-bearing structure of the house. He stretched out his hand to carefully confirm the condition of the detonator, and quickly identified the content, and He made a judgment, "It can't be Moritani Teiji who did it."
In fact, the job of making bombs is more suitable for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder like Moritani Teiji.
The precise mixing of the formula, the exquisite design of the mechanism, and the thrilling manual operation that may injure yourself first if you are not careful...
If Moritani Teiji was a self-sufficient person, Generally speaking, the bomber fits the common profile of a bomber.
But Karasawa judged that these bombs were more likely to be "customized products" rather than Moritani Teiji's handiwork.
"Making bombs has its own path dependence. A prisoner who is accustomed to using bombs will produce a 'work' with his own style." After confirming the structure, Karasawa stepped back and whispered to Noah Said, "The design is too skillful, it can't be the work of a novice like Moritani Teiji."
The criminals who specialize in this method really consider these murder weapons with the eyes of the works. Some will even sign their names, obviously they are full of narcissism about their "creations", which is different from the murderers who simply use explosives to achieve their goals.
And Karasawa feels that the things about Kurokawa House belong to the latter.
"Noah, have you confirmed the remote control signals of these fuses?" Tangze jumped down from the beam, patted the dust on his hands, and asked aloud.
"It has been confirmed that the signal source is not nearby."
"That's good. Your bomb is good, but now it's mine."
So ten minutes later, Karasawa returned to the study quietly, silently looking at Maori who was sitting on the chair. Kogoro, complete the final double act reasoning.
"...So, the deceased did not want to enter JUN, he wanted to enter the corresponding kana of the Japanese root keyboard, which is the three words manami. Yes, the murderer was working as a maid, in Miss Manami, please pay attention to the blood stains on the floor. Among the splatters of blood behind the body, there is a strange wipe mark. Miss Manami, you should have prevented the deceased from hearing your footsteps, so. Take off your shoes and get closer, right?”
Nakazawa Mana’s beautiful eyes lifted up her feet, and as expected, a small blood stain was exposed on the top of the cotton socks.
As long as the socks are taken away and the blood stains are identified as those of the deceased, this will be enough evidence to sway any judge.
So Nakazawa Manami's shoulders slumped, and she started the standard Kexue murderer's bamboo tube pouring beans, about how the famous Kurokawa Daizo, after charging a high fee for flying knives, made a mistake in medical judgment that led to the death of her husband. , how she changed her name, hairstyle, disguised herself as a maid, etc.
Tangze, who respected Ke Xue's logic very much, silently read the entire process. When Conan, who looked confident and emotional, walked out of the shadows and stood next to him, he squatted down and spoke in a calm tone. Open your mouth.
"There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
"What good news and bad news?" Conan, who was still immersed in solving the case, turned his head for no apparent reason.
"The bad news is, there's a bomb in this house."
"Ah?! Then the good news..."
"Well, the good news is that the bomb's yield is not very large. It should only cause a fire or something."
"This is called What’s the good news? Hey, Mumu Police Department, Officer Mumu, don’t leave yet—”
